Grade=D
The setup: bear flag
The result: The stock wasn't doing much of anything and then it popped before eventually fading. I entered here thinking the stock was looking "heavy" and was expecting some further retracement of the gap to happen here and perhaps a slow fade if nothing else.
The lesson: This is T-mobile, a stock that Kunal might call a "grandpa stock". It popped up on news, but the action had died down considerably by the time I got in. The stock wasn't really "in play" at this point, so I would prefer some more signs of weakness before repeating this kind of trade. Not much range in this area.
